It's up to you. Honestly... there are a lot of guys these days who pass themselves off as being a precision pilot... but turn off their gyro... and they aren't much better than anyone else. I'm an OK pilot. But, I have an eagle tree 3 axis in a 3d model... and it makes me look like a competition pilot. (it does the work for me)


OK... with that said... a Shock doesn't need a gyro. Just fly it, and have fun. (That's what they are for) But, If you buy something that is a little touchy... or has some bad tip tendencies... then put a gyro in it. That will take out the worry, and make it fun to fly. (I'm going to move my eagle tree into my Hot spot. That will help with the bouncy landings)

Then, again...... I bought one of those little UMX Habu 180's. It has the 3 axis system in it... and it will fly GREAT in gusty 15 mph winds. (Better than my big models)


Just my random thoughts... take it for what it's worth.



****EDIT*****

I just realized this is for the MIG,and not your shock. A gyro can help make your flights look more scale, but I don't think that airframe needs one to make it fly well.
